阅读理解

I came to study in the United States a year ago.Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor-and go to court(法庭).

After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me.I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day.But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done.I was astonished.He had good reasons to charge me, he said.And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer.And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer.Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.

But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes.He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another.Yet he charged me $ 155 each time.The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $ 215.

My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met.But after that he avoided seeing me at all.He knew very well the other part was responsible for the accident; yet he hardly did anything.He simply waited to collect his money.He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss(解雇)him.And he made me pay him $770.

Now I had to act as my own lawyer.Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America.Knowing that, they played for time,…and I left without getting a cent.

My experiences taught me two things about America:firstly, in a country like America money is everything.It is more important than friendship, honour or professional morality(职业道德).Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated.So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.

试题答案

答案:1.B;2.D;3.C;4.B;5.D;

解析:

(1)

细节题。从短文第二段“But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done.”得此答案。

(2)

此题为推理题。从短文第二段“And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer”可以得知,只有好医生才能找到一个好律师,而只有一个好律师才能把“我”的受伤损失拿回来,因此D项为最佳答案。

(3)

从短文“But the next day, he asked me to pay him $ 200 for what he had done…He had good reasons to charge me”我们得知,charge在此意为“收费”。

(4)

此题为推理判断题。通读全文,我们可以看出,the doctor以及the lawyer只知道收钱,而不想为人们解决实际问题,因此说他们很贪婪。

(5)

主旨大意题。从整个文章所叙述的事情我们可以得出此结论。作者在最后一段也同样提出这一观点。
